Half-Price Books

A used book store chain in Texas (and presumably elsewhere). Their books are more often than not less than half price, especially for technical books. In my travels to the ones in Dallas and Austin the selection is pretty good, but like any other used-foo store, YMMV. Excellent place to buy fiction, as even hardbacks in good condition rarely sell for more than $5.

The stores tend to be rather strong in remaindered math, science and art books and have a decent selection of used fiction and science fiction. There are some locations, though, that do not seem to have much of anything interesting.
